"Hey mom, look what followed me home from school, a new tweed jacket. Cute isn't he. Can we keep him? I promise I'll feed him and play with him and take him for walks. Please, please, please?"

Looking good. We are in this for life or bankruptcy. Rocky took my order for an X Marks tartan kilt this morning. Exactly 7 days after I received my Saffron HW from Jerry. Is a week, long enough to wait - I wonder -

I googled 'celtic black' and that pic came up - I just LOVE the gold in the kilt - a kilt maker called Highland Scene make it (+44 1674 677205 / www.highland-scene.com) though it's not cheap.... we're looking at £335 worth of kilt there ($550?)

though I managed to get the last kilt past the Mrs... that one, plus the £300 hole in our account may be a step too far....

At a price between a car and house payment, I would want to lay my hands on the fabric to check it out first. Then check out the maker as price and quality don't necessarily go together. It looks great in the picture with the rest of the kit with gold buttons and such - another purchase?
